ORNAMENT.

Application filed July 24, 1926. Serial No. 124,601.

The object of my invention is the production of candelabrum for thedecoration of birthday cakes, Christmas trees and the like which may bemanufactured easily and inexpensively and at the same time be ofdecorative appearance and easy to apply.

Fig. 1 shows a cross section of one candle holder before it has beenformed into one branch of the complete candelabrum.

Fig. 2 shows one embodiment of my device when completed.

Referring to Fig. 1 the ornamental cup 1, here shown in the form of aconventionalized rosebud, may be made of sugar, plaster of Paris orother plastic material and is wrapped or molded in or about the upperend of a stem 2 which may be made ofwire or narrow strips of sheetmetal. The upper end of this stem terminates in a spiral 8 which iswithin the cup and constitutes the candle holder proper. This spiral ispreferably loosely wound.

In Fig. 2 it will be seen that the stems 2 of the various cups are bentappropriately at points t and 5 so that when twisted, soldered, sleeved,or otherwise sec'ured together at 6 an artistictype of holder forseveral candles will result.

The central stem 7 may be straight and a number of L-shaped memberssecured to it.

I do not wish to limit myself to this particular design of cup norto'any specific number of cups nor to any particular means of securingthe stems of said cups together.

I claim 1. A miniature candelabrum comprising L-shaped wires havingvertical stems twisted together and adapted to form a support to beinserted in a cake or the like and each wire having an offset portionterminating 40 in a candle-receiving socket integral therewith at. itsupper end.

3. A miniature candelabrum comprising L-shaped wires having verticalstems secured together and adapted to be inserted in a cake, each wireterminating in a helix forming a candle-receiving socket at its upperend and an ornamental cup molded about each socket. i
